This is correct.

It was 90 outside and probably 110 inside. Started the truck with the remote let it run for a few minutes and still no seat coolers on. The control was set on auto. The fan speed did not even ramp up until I hit the start button. I had left the coolers on when I had shut the truck off and they did not come back on by themselves. I had to press the control button to turn them on.

Is there any way to re-position the 4 main functions on the center console 8" screen?
I would like to move them around so my cool F-150 MFT wallpaper shows up better.

FYI, the actual button lights will not illuminate during the remote start process, but the seat ventilation does run during remote start.

I believe the answer is no.

Default Coin holder

So I have a 2015 Lariat 4x2 and where the 4x4 switch is on a truck with it equipped is a useless coin holder on a 4x2. I've seen older truck models where people have put something more useful there and I'd love to do the same, but all prior truck yr examples don't work because the design has changed. Does anyone have a solution for this years coin holder? I'd settle for a flat piece of plastic.

I have had this issue as well. I did a master reset on my system but it's still reading a wrong temperature. Did you figure out how to fix this?

Seems kind of silly to sticky the popular ones since it's always in the first few pages anyway.
